Alexander

Visualization of the street frontage: two white flat-roofed villas behind a paved driveway, cars parked under a slatted carport, clipped shrubs and a heavy cloud-filled blue sky, studio watermark in the lower corner.

Alexander is a set of ten visualizations and interior design studies made in 2016 for a proposed private housing development in Accra, Ghana, covering white cubic villas, their pools and terraces, and the furnished interiors that sell them.

The brief was marketing imagery for a real estate proposal that had not yet broken ground, so every frame had to argue for a completed building. RDVS. DESIGN supplied the interior design as well as the renders, presenting the scheme as a small group of detached villas around shared driveways, gardens and a pool.

Flat-roofed white volumes are stacked and offset to create covered parking, deep terraces and roof decks, with slatted timber screens marking the boundary between private lawn and shared ground. Interiors are open, with dining and living running straight out to the pool deck, and a separate gym and media room for residents.

The palette is deliberately restrained: white render, pale stone floors, dark timber doors and grey upholstery, warmed by cove lighting and by the blue of the pool at dusk. Kitchen and dining walls carry small accents, a mosaic splashback, a gallery of framed prints, a single figurative canvas in strong yellow.

Ten plates were released as a single gallery in 2016, moving from street frontage and long elevation views through dusk pool and terrace scenes to the gym, kitchen, dining room, snug and main living room. The sequence reads as a brochure: exterior first, proof of the interiors second.

The project was published as ALEXANDER — 3D VISUALIZATION — RDVS. DESIGN; the full set is on Behance.

Wide horizontal elevation of the development seen across a lawn, a long band of low white volumes with deep window openings and flat roofs, set against blue sky with thin cloud and green planting below.

Rear garden visualization of a single villa: a white cubic box on columns with an open ground-floor terrace, a pergola and daybed above, and a broad lawn of large-leaf planting running to the frame edge.

Dusk view across a rectangular pool lit pale blue, a white two-storey villa glowing behind it, timber slat screens enclosing both sides and two loungers on the stone coping under a deep evening sky.

Covered outdoor room at dusk: warm linear lighting under a white canopy, a long dining table, a backlit bottle shelf on the end wall and the pool edge beyond the columns, floor tiles picking up the blue sky.

Gym interior visualization with three treadmills and a cross trainer along a window wall, a bench press and rack on dark plank flooring, ceiling fans overhead and a full-height mural of a bodybuilder on the black feature wall.

Kitchen visualization: handleless white cabinets with a breakfast island and timber stools, a grey mosaic splashback, pale patterned stone flooring, dark timber doors at either end and a glass partition to the stair hall beyond.

Dining room visualization seen from a floating stone staircase with a glass balustrade: a stone-top table with teal upholstered chairs, a drum pendant, a nine-square gallery wall and a glazed screen to the kitchen.

Snug or media room visualization: a low grey sectional on a dark rug facing a wall-mounted screen, open shelving and a desk to one side, floor-length sheer curtains at the window and a slim black reading lamp.

Living room visualization from a low angle across grey sofas: a large figurative canvas in yellow and black on the white wall, a round marble coffee table on a geometric rug, and the dining set with a woven pendant beyond.
